Aubrey Plaza’s fans encountered the message “Sorry, this page is not available” when trying to access the actress’s Instagram profile. Plaza deleted her account after the death of her husband.
Aubrey Plaza’s Instagram account was deactivated after the actress’s husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, passed away after attempting to take his own life. Baena was found unconscious on January 3rd at his home in Los Angeles.
Plaza and Baena married in 2020 after ten years of dating. The victim was 47 years old. The couple worked together on several projects, including the films “Spin Me Round,” “Life After Beth,” and “The Little Hours.”
“We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy at this time,” said Aubrey Plaza and Baena’s family in a statement.
Before releasing the film “Horse Girl,” co-written with Alison Brie, Jeff Baena commented on a Reddit post about family members facing mental health issues.
“This had a big influence on the development of the project,” he wrote on Reddit before the film’s release in 2020. According to the post, Baena’s stepmother had “manic depression and went in and out of institutions in Miami due to the Baker Act.”
“Although I don’t consider *Horse Girl* an activist film, the themes of how we, as a society and as individuals, treat people with mental illness were a big focus and motivation for making it,” said the filmmaker in response to a fan.
